摘要:This paper discusses the conceptions about indivisibles displayed in Galileo’s Discorsi, and explores their application to the study of uniformement accelerated motions. I suggest to reconsider the holistic velocity concept that has been attributed to Galileo and to interpret it as an infinite collection of velocity degrees. I also suggest to interpret the moment of velocity as the measurement of acceleration. This can contribute to fill the gap between the conceptions of Galileo and Newton.
